Happy anniversary to Berlin! I wasn’t able to make it myself, but DJ Greg Haus is always good for some amazing photgraphs, both behind and in front of the camera. Stay tuned next week for his pix from the Wax Trax showcase.
Another event I couldn’t make it to (because I’m not a sporting man) was the Michigan/Ohio game at Crew. Miss Cynthia, a dyed-in-the-wool (or steel, as the case may be) Michigander wouldn’t have missed it for all the tea in Kalamazoo. Looks like she got a serious star-sighting. Check out page 30 to see everyone’s favorite out former NFL star. I know there are so many to pick from. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
About the ONLY place I did manage to cart my ass to this week was to see Hell In A Handbag’s production of The Birds. Eerie it was. And Tracy Repep as Miss Tippi was hauntingly dead-on. Look for another (and possibly the last for a while?) year of HIAH’s Rudoplh the Red-Hosed Reindeer to start up at the Bailiwick Friday, November 30.
Where better to go after a Handbag show than straight to hell in a handbasket, by whch I mean Granville Anvil. I mean hell in a spectacular way. That’s the place with ‘Anvil-ocity,’ or so claims the bartender. I picture Ann Jillian running at great speeds through the bar. Perhaps that’s a ‘you had to be there’ moment.
